Let's share some good deals!

I haven't really found anything, hence why I'm curious to what everyone else is picking up.

Poly Bridge if you've played World of Goo and similar games.

I considered getting TW Warhammer III ... at least until I saw the scandalous prices for it's DLCs.

I'm considering Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but I reckon it has a decent chance of ending up in Humble Choice so I may wait for that. Definitely a game I will enjoy, but I have a big backlog so eh.

Bought DOS2 because I finished bg3 and is going through withdrawal

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I have a feeling you’ll really enjoy it! DOS1 is also awesome but rough around the edges in comparison. The story is super whimsical though. I really loved the story in dos 1 lol

I bought Wrestlequest and You Suck at Parking. The former you probably won't vibe with if you aren't a big pro wrestling and maybe RPG fan. The latter is fun but at ten bucks on sale still feels a smidge overpriced

It's not on sale, but I had already decided to pick up Pacific Drive before I knew the sale was happening.

Also picked up Party Animals as a couch party game, and Outer Wilds as it's been on my list for ages now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (6 children)

Pacific Drive is cool, I like the style and gameplay, but it feels very drawn out and repetitive.

Have played everything good that’s out there so nothing…

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (6 children)

I’m looking at Disco Elysium.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago

That game is a true gem and you should definitely play it, just ... don´t buy it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (3 children)

It's a good game, but you should know ZA/UM (the studio behind the game) was sold under suspicious cirucmstances; the lead designer and other major memebrs are no longer part of the studio (they sued, but it didn't go anywhere). Personally I wouldn't give them any money.

  • Arcade Moonlander
  • Astrominer
  • Minit

I have a backlog, and I have a rule that I don't buy a game unless it is USD$6.08 or less in my local currency.

Bought halo MCC for my brother, very excited to coop those campaigns. Very sad no split screen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Hadean tactics. It's a combination of slay the spire and tft. It's sucked me in.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not much of anything on the SteamDB website interested me, I bought Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut for $1.24

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Went to buy it... Already own it. Probably won't play it anyway.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Xcom 2 has been on my list for years... hit 97% in this sale, figured it's finally time.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I recommend getting the bundle with all the DLC, slightly more expensive but very worth it esp. for the big content expansion War of the chosen.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (3 children)

That's the one!

$3.88, only about $0.50 more than just the standalone game. If the reviews are any indication, this is a damn steal!

Likely nothing, too much backlog from last sale still. I wish there was a deeper discount on bg3 though

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Heaven's Vault, Hardspace Shipbreaker, and both Subnautica games.

Heaven's Vault is a puzzle game where you have to learn to translate an unknown language. Haven't gotten too deep into the game yet, but I picked it up because I liked Chants of Sennaar, which has a similar premise. Chants is 25% off right now, so I think that's a decent recommendation

Hardspace Shipbreaker is a casual game where you break down spaceships for parts. It seemed fun, and I wanted to have something casual to balance out my library, which currently has more intense games than I would like.

Subnautica is a survival game where you're stuck on an ocean world. I'm honestly not too sure if I would like this one too much, since I'm not too much of a fan of survival games. It just seemed unique enough from the other survival games, and it had a decent deal, and it was in my wishlist for a while. So I acted a bit on impulse and bought both games (Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Subnautica is a treasure. (Despite the bugs.) I recommend playing with a good sound setup and dim lights.

I've played Hardspace and Subnautica and love them both. Solid pics.

The only things I currently want are Helldivers 2 and Shadow of the Erdtree. Neither of which are likely to go on sale soon. 😞

[–] [email protected] 55 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (7 children)

Outer Wilds. For a few friends who don’t have it yet. I’ve already bought it a couple times.

I already own it… but it’s just that good. So good I vicariously try to relive the game by watching livestreams and Eelis’ recaps of other live-streamers.

It really is something you have to experience blind. Since the entire game progression is knowledge based and pulling threads on the mysteries until the mosaic of the story and experience unfolds is truly something you can experience once.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I thought you meant The Outer Wilds, and spent a solid two minutes on a routine sanity check. Hadn't heard of this game though, so we'll call it even 😸

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

If you are considering picking up Outer Wilds, by god, go in blind. It's all about finding out.

Got the two DLCs for Melvor and that's probably that. Although I've been eyeing both Oxygen Not Included and Blood West ngl.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I finally got tired of Melvor after like a year and the first DLC. I guess I could see myself going back and doing the 2nd one at some point but my interest hasn't been there since I put it down some time last year.

Even before that though I think that township thing was a huge misstep. I'm all for trying some new stuff as a dev and not everyone's going to be happy but cramming some weird town management sim into the incremental rpg genre never really made much sense to me.

Maybe Lies of P or Star Ocean The Second Story R, plus one or two "Survivors-like" (Halls of Torment, Death Must Die).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Halls is great, I need to go back and check if they've added anything else.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

+1 for Lies of P. It's the most Fromsoft-like game of that style not made by Fromsoft I've ever played. So if you're a big Soulsebornering fan, it's right up there with those.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've only heard good things and watched a Streamer playing it last year, and I want to play it eventually myself.

While I generally like Souls-like games, I never got into most Fromsoft games, except Elden Ring, so we'll see how it goes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It's on Game Pass if that's of any help
